HeftyShrink-Pak Large Travel Bags - Airtight Storage Bags for Maximum Space Saving, Travel Essentials, Ideal for Packing, Durable, Reliable Compression with Sealed Protection

I use these all the time for travel. Perfect for fitting everything you need in a carryon only trip. I usually get the type you need a vacuum to shrink. I mistakenly ordered these and was initially bummed out, but it actually worked out better since my Airbnb did not have a vacuum I packed the bag, sat on it and sealed it. I put these bags through the wringer, and the resistance is amazing. Don’t let the non-vacuum type surprise you, the suction works well. So easy to use with a great seal. Leaving extra room in your suitcase for those must haves you pick up in your travels. When I arrived in Dublin, it was 7 AM on St. Patrick’s Day. After a long haul from Maui to Ireland I ran to the bathroom in the airport, opened up my bag and was able to easily see my change of clothes, reseal the bags and head out on my way with just a carry-on. Not only are they great for Travel but I don’t have room for all these cold weather clothes on Maui so after washing them, I repack them in the sealable bags! They work well for storage too

Great product. Helps compact clothes to make more room in suitcase.

Bought this product thinking it was multi sizes, but I got all large sized bags. That’s my fault because I was in a rush and only glanced at the package photo that’s is showing other sizes available.However, I bought these and storage cubes including some compression storage cubes. These are the only ones I used on my trip to Hawaii.I’m a plus size woman (important to keep in mind, only because my clothes have more material). I was able to squeeze in one swim cover-up, two dresses, a pair of bike shorts and a t-shirt into my carry-on thanks to this travel bag. Coming home I used it for three dresses. I’m including a photo of the bag with three dresses (I could have fit more too), and a photo of the 3 dresses how I normally would pack them. It’s not going to save a ton of room but as a chronic over-packer, it was worth it for me.Sealing it can be a bit of a pain, but with practice, it’s fine. Just don’t over-fill the bag. I found folding it into squares/rectangles and making a little pile behind the line in the bag works best. Rolling your clothes to put in the bag is not going to work very well for getting the air out.When I did roll the air out I went one way first, then turned it over and rolled the opposite way.I would use these again. It might be more difficult for someone with hand weakness though just as a heads up. Not impossible and probably easier than the compression cubes.

I’ve tried tons of competitor-brand vacuum seal bags but the Hefty brand always seems to stand the test of time far longer than others I’ve used. These are AMAZING. Aside from obvious uses such as storage, they're lifesavers for travel & packing my suitcase. I never travel without them! I can cram three times as many clothes into one suitcase. ALSO, since I despise having dirty laundry floating around in my luggage during trip, I always pack a few extra empty bags into my suitcases. That way I can separate & vacuum seal any dirty laundry as it accumulates.Also note: make sure not to OVERFILL the bag to avoid breakage. I fold each item as flat as possible, stack then seal. I can fit about 10-12 size small shirts per bag. They make many diff size variations of this bag, both bigger & smaller. So if u require more space or u need to pack larger items such as jeans or jackets, u can always buy additional bags in the larger size dimension.

Difficult to use. I gave up.

These are a huge help in condensing clothes inside your suitcase to fit more. You can easily fit a few extra garments when using these. I like to travel with just a carryon so this helps.

These bags are super small and not vacuum sealed. Am returning

I've tried similar products in the past, but they were a hassle and never seemed to work properly or for long. These bags are sturdy, easy to use, & allow me to pack so much more efficiently for our long trip in fewer bags! I loved them so much I immediately bought another box of them!
